USS Lexington (CV-16) - The Blue Ghost
The second aircraft carrier to bear the name 'USS Lexington' is the topic of today's video. The oldest fleet carrier still around and one that saw some of the heaviest action of the Second World War. Her story is a long one, even if most of it was spent training. She is also a nice museum to visit, which is rare.
